Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given series is,

When we substitute
, we get the first term, which is 
This implies that,

.
The common ratio is

The finite geometric sum is given by the formula,
.
Since there are 9 terms, we find the sum of the first nine terms by putting
in to the formula to get,
.

The correct answer is B
The explanation for this is one of my favorite pieces of mathematical reasoning. First, let's thing about distance; what's the shortest distance between two points? <em>A straight line</em>. If we just drew a straight line between A and B, though, we'd be missing a crucial element of the original problem: we also need to pass through a point on the line (the "river"). Here's where the mathemagic comes in.
If we take the point B and <em>reflect it over the line</em>, creating the point B' (see picture 1), we can draw a line straight from A to B' that passes through a point on the line. Notice the symmetry here; the distance from the intersection point to B' is<em> the same as its distance to B</em>. So, if we reflect that segment back up, we'll have a path to B, and because it came from of the line segment AB', we know that it's <em>the shortest possible distance that includes a point on the line</em>.
If we apply this same process to our picture, we see that the line segment AB' crosses the line
at the point (1, 1)

Answer:
$50.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cheaper hat, is the more expensive hat is 2 times this value, it can be shown by 2x. The addition of these two values = 75.12
x + 2x = 75.12
3x = 75.12
Divide both sides by three to find 1x:
x = 25.04
If the more expensive hat is 2x this, then:
2 * 25.04 = 50.08
So the more expensive hat is $50.08!

Find the LCD (least common denominator)
15 in this case
Convert to have 15 as denominators
1/3 = 5/15
2/5 = 6/15
Subtract
(6/15) - (5/15)
1/15
He had 1/15 less
2. the slope is 2 because
